Forbes report that ‘Skyfall,’ the 23rd James Bond adventure, continuing the longest running and most successful franchise in film history, today became the 10th highest grossing movie of all-time at the worldwide box office. While the exact box office totals are not yet officially tabulated, they will place Bond’s current receipts at somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.045 billion. Yesterday, ‘Skyfall’ opened in China to enormous numbers, and it should finish its run as the seventh highest-grossing movie in history, bumping ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ down to number eight on the all-time list. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is sitting at worldwide earnings of $1.081 billion. The last tabulated totals had ‘Skyfall’ earning $301,113,921 million in North America and $740,100,484 million internationally. The film is currently nominated for five Academy Awards, eight British Academy Film Awards and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for Adele’s theme song earlier in the month.

Directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road, Road to Perdition), ‘Skyfall’ sees Daniel Craig and Judi Dench continue their roles as James Bond and M. The cast also includes Naomie Harris as a field agent named Eve, Javier Bardem as Silva; the stories leering and sinisterly creepy lead villain, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw as Q; MI5′s resident gadgets man, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner; the MI6 Chief of Staff, Ola Rapace, Bérénice Marlohe as the “glamorous and enigmatic” Sévérine, and Ralph Fiennes as Gareth Mallory.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced that Adele will perform her Oscar-nominated theme song from the latest James Bond movie at the 85th Academy Awards. ‘Skyfall,’ from the film of the same name, was announced as a nominee for Original Song at the Academy’s Nominations Announcement on January 10th. The song, written by Adele and Paul Epworth, is the first Bond theme ever to debut in Billboard’s Top 10 and the first to be nominated for an Oscar since ‘For Your Eyes Only’ in 1981.

Adele’s Oscar show performance will be the first time she will have performed ‘Skyfall’ anywhere live and will also mark her first US television performance since the Grammys last year. “It’s an honour to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again,” said Adele. “It’s something I’ve never experienced and probably only ever will once!”

‘Skyfall,’ the 23rd James Bond adventure, continuing the longest running and most successful franchise in film history, just crossed the $300 million at the North American box office. To date, ‘Skyfall’ has made $300,147,000 million in North America and $733,500,000 million internationally for a hefty total of $1,033,647,000 – making it the 11th highest-grossing film of all time. With ‘Skyfall’ opening in China on January 21st, I’d expect it to become one of top 10 highest-grossing movies – ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ is currently at #10 with $1,043.9 billion earned – by Febuary. The film is currently nominated for five Academy Awards, eight British Academy Film Awards and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for Adele’s theme song last Sunday.

The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on February 24th at the Dolby Theatre, at Hollywood & Highland Center.
